Last Spear
A downloadable game for Windows
Made for the Ziva Games Competition.
One weapon. Two chances to strike.
Your spear cuts through enemies on the way out. Where you move determines who it hits coming back.
Last Spear is a compact, top-down arena survival game about aim, movement, and making every throw count. Send your only weapon through pursuing enemies, dodge while unarmed, then recall it through another line of attackers.
You have three hearts and two minutes to survive. Fast runners keep you moving. Tougher brutes take more punishment. As the arena fills, a well-placed return can turn a desperate escape into your best attack.
Throw. Reposition. Recall.
- One spear, two chances to strike. Pierce enemies on both the outward throw and the return.
- Positioning is your advantage. Move around the horde to line up your next recall.
- Two-minute survival rounds. Short attempts, rising pressure, and quick restarts.
- Chase your personal best. Earn bonus points for return kills and finish with hearts remaining for a bigger score.
- Optional Discord sign-in. Save verified online personal bests to your account and compete on the leaderboard.
- No account required. Play offline and keep your local record. Offline records remain separate from verified online scores.
- Stark black-and-white pixel art. A minimal look for a focused arcade challenge.
